Stars and hexies

This is a slow progressing quilt.
It is sewn with EPP.

Been spending lots of time and thought on selecting fabrics to get the look I want.

It is not a finished top yet. Some thinking is needed before I continue sewing on it. So it is put back in its box for now.

Great ambitions

Bought the pattern for this adventcalendar a year ago.

Had ambitions to finish it by desember 2014, but other temptations got in the way!
This is as far as I got.

It is on the list to be finished for this years desember.

A new Year with lot of possibilites

A busy holiday is over. Have had some happy days with family and lots of good food.
Last year was a good one.
 A lot of the time was spent working on quilting projects. I have not been blogging about most of these, so that is what I will do something about the fist days of the new year.

I have had a desire to one day make a quilt inspired by Jane Austen coveret. Last summer I thought it was about time to do just that.

I had this book already, got the templates for EPP and some fabric and brought it with me on my summer holiday.

This is what I had time to sew in the best summer days in years.

Happy new Year and happy quilting

One more post today.

It is not quilt-related.
Two weeks ago we got a new family member.
He is just adoreable and takes lot of time.

Say hi to little Timmy

He is now 10 weeks old. 

Doing his best to get housetrained and be a nice puppy.

How relaxed can a puppy get?

My kind of day

My favorite way to spend a day. And a lot of progress has been made.

Some of the finest blue and white fabrics being turned into lots of blocks. Having fun in my new sewing corner in my bedroom.

What a great day it has been.

Focus

Keeping my attention on this top is my main focus these weeks.
It is a pattern from Sue Daley. It is called "Pies and Tarts".
Method is EPP and handapplique. Blocks are sewn together by machine.

Have indulged myself to start a new project

After being good, I think, and sorted through scrapbins I got some fabrics out to start on a new quilt.

 Really enjoying this.
Started to cut fabrics right away.

 Found this so much fun, got half of the blocks sewed together in just two days.

Rest of the blocks is cut and ready for marking, some more cutting and sewing.

Pure bliss. Sometimes a quilt comes together like it was ment to be long before it was even thought about.

Time...

...is flying by when you are having fun.
The weather has been fantastic here. That is until yesterday, now it is cold and lots of rain.
I am working on some new projects, don't have any photos yet. So for now I'll show some things that where made a few weeks ago.

This is going to be put on my kitchentable when quilted. Used EPP for the carpenters wheel center.
Yellow fabric is from a secondhand pillowcase, outer border is a thick linen.

This is a crib quilt currently being handquilted.  I'll show all of it when it is finished.

I'll get off to do some more sewing, can't wait to see how it is going to look.
